What is language?



All of us know that language is very important for us. There are three languages that many people are using them nowadays, those languages are English, Chinese, and Spanish. Everyone must study English because it is international language. On the other hand, Chinese is used by the most people in this world. I, as a Malaysian, must learn three languages because I am a Chinese. Those languages are Chinese, English, and Malay. For Malaysian, there are two languages must be learnt, the two languages are English and Malay because English is international language and Malay is our nation language. Paragraphs below describe the importance of language.



Language is very important for our daily life. Without language, we cannot communicate to others easily and do writing. Languages actually separated all of us into different cultures. For example, Malaysians speak Malay, Americans speak English, Japaneses speak Japanese, and Espanyols speak Spanish. English is an international language but it is different in cultures. Normally, we can speak English in different way when we stay in different country because different country has diverse culture. Therefore, we must accommodate ourselves to different situation. For example, when we are in America, we must follow their culture and make adjustment to be accommodated. Briefly, language is very important for us to do daily communication.



In spite of the differences among languages, most of languages share common characteristics. Their main similarity is they are using universal grammar; however, there are some languages different from those languages are using universal grammar. The universal grammar is pronoun / noun + verb, such languages are using this grammar as Chinese, English, Malay, and Japanese.


In brief, language is very significant in communication, it takes part in speech more than in writing.
